The Cowgirls were out in the community last night assisting Wyoming’s Special Olympics. Each Cowgirl was assigned a different station where athletes could come and work on their basketball skills. Mina Geric and Chelan Landry worked with teams in five on five games, Ashley Sickles and Fatima Thiam had all of the three on three groups. The other Cowgirls worked on individual skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting. Junior Chaundra Sewell had this to say, “this was a great opportunity to get out into the community and make a difference. Our team truly enjoyed playing and getting to know these amazing athletes. We will definitely be involved in future competitions and continuing our new found friendships with these amazing people! We wish them the best of luck in their competitions today.” To learn more about Special Olympics in Wyoming or to get involved visit http://www.specialolympicswy.org/ .

The Cowgirls have rounded out their 2012 recruiting class adding Aubry Boehme from Otero Junior College in La Junta, CO. Aubry joins the Cowgirls after two extremely successful seasons with the Otero Rattlers. Boehme broke the school records for field goal percentage at 55%, and blocked shots with 94. She is only the second player to break 1000 points, finishing with 1041. In her final season at Otero, Aubry averaged a team high 17 points per game, 6.6 rebounds, earned 56 blocks and 100 steals. Aubry earned 1st team All American honors for Division II, as well as an All tournament selection for the Region IX tournament. Overall, Aubry is an outstanding player with amazing potential to shine at the Division I level. We are thrilled to have her join the Cowgirls and can’t wait to see her in action next fall. Aubry joins Fallon Lewis, transfer out of Sheridan Community College, Marquelle Dent from Regis High School in Denver, and Whitney Gordon from Marion High School in Marion Kansas to round out the Cowgirls 2012 signees!
